Tasting Notes
Black Prince: Wow. The finish on this is out of this world. Armagnac really sings through this. Long spicy complex.
Restrained nose but red pez, plum and dried apricots. Paradoxically, it’s both mouth wateringly juicy and mouth puckeringly dry.
Brown sugar and nectarines, can’t believe this is cask strength. Delicious!
